A memorial for the front page of the internet. If you have left reddit or is considering leaving then this community is for you.

There’s also a blog documenting the rise and fall of reddit as well as news and thoughts on the whole issue.

It serves as an archive for posts and topics in case reddit decides to delete anti-reddit posts within its platform.

An anticapitalist tech blog. Embrace the technology that liberates us. Smash that which does not.

Does this work NOW? I mean since they killed the API?

Usually the admins will undo the delete, so it's probably not worth using.

Ok but Reddit absolutely saves the old comments though

You are polluting the data set. Do it a few times with different text sources and the scrubbers won't know what part of your comment history is good. Replace, don't delete.

I'm pretty sure they'll know that the first version of each comment is almost certainly the good one. People sometimes edit a comment to add new information or fix a typo, but they almost never replace nonsense with a good comment, rather than the other way around.

Edit: fixed typos, also replaced excerpt from Moby Dick with this post.

Edit 2: the comments you post here are totally available for machine learning, so I don't see much of a point in deleting my Reddit comments as long as I'm participating in Lemmy.
